Zoo Babies TOOB - 11 Figurines: Zebra, Panda, Hippo, Chimpanzee, Rhino, Alligator, Gorilla, Elephant, Tiger, Polar Bear, Giraffe - Educational Toy Figures For Boys, Girls & Kids Ages 3+

I wanted my toddler to have some nice, realistic animal figures, and looked at the Learning Resources Jumbo Animals sets and Schleich figures, but those are larger and come at a much higher cost per figure, so I thought I would buy a couple Safari Ltd TOOBs and see what I thought. If I weren't happy with the quality, I would buy Learning Resources and Schleich figures in the future. But no need! I love these. There are a few small painting flaws on a couple of the figures, but for the price, I am MORE than happy; I am thrilled! I will definitely buy many more sets as my daughter develops more specific interests (anything from primates to insects to undersea life to animals from specific continents/climates to dinosaurs... and so forth). Also, not only do I enjoy them, but more importantly, my daughter enjoys them! I only took out a few at once, but she immediately examined them, brought them up to me (as if to ask what they were), and carried them around with her looking at them. I will say she is much younger than the target age... She is 21 months, and they very clearly say for ages 3+, but for me this is a case of knowing my child... She has never been much of a teether/mouther/chewer, never really put things in her mouth she shouldn't, so at 21 months, I am not worried about her playing with them. I would not leave her alone with them in the backseat of the car, just to be on the safe side, but as long as I am in the same room, I am just fine with her playing with them.

Adorable little guys! I didn't buy these for a child, but for ME. I'm an artist, and wanted some little models for "still life" drawing. I can set one of these up, any angle, lit with a bright light for dramatic effects, and draw to my hearts content. Try asking a REAL elephant or polar bear to "pose". Anyway, for the money, these are not bad at all. For general shape, shadows, etc, they work fine. I can get exact details from other reference material, if needed. The little models I would really like were too expensive... the Toy Figures by Schleich, like this little polar bear. Schleich Walking Polar Bear Cub Toy Figure But I don't have that kind of money. These TOOB collections are a fantastic bargain, and not goofy looking. Fairly realistic, nice hard plastic with just the tiniest bit of give to it, fairly good paint job, nice amount of detail indicating hair, fur, facial features, etc. I plan to get more as soon as I sell a painting or two. :-)

These little guys were cute and all made. They were great party favors for kindergarteners

I bought these for my son's stocking for Christmas. I bought his sister the complimentary Dino Toob. They fit perfectly in their stockings. My daughter carries around her dinos everywhere, and I see the zoo babies playing all over the house. I believe the paint detailing on the figures is colorful and interesting. Honestly, I like playing with them too. These are definitely better than any I've seen locally. It's easier to keep track of the zoo babies than it to keep track of those silly squinkies. I prefer these 'Safari Ltd' mini toys over squinkies any day. The only complaint I have is that I believe, for the money, there should be more in the Toob.

My daughter loves playing with animal figures! We recently visited "Disney's Animal Kingdom" and she was super interested in the safari animals (up until then she had mostly been into farm animals). I checked out the "Schleich" sets, but they were above the price range I was looking for. After looking at some blogs I found a mother that used these (TOOB) animal sets to play matching games with them and animal picture cards. I thought this to be such an engaging activity for my toddler. The price of the 11 animal figures was the price of just ONE Schleich animal figure! DONE DEAL! They are obviously not as realistic as Schleich, but they are still very nice. My daughter loves playing with them!! It's been a hit over here!

I bought these little guys for a craft project: cut them in half, spray paint and glue magnets on the back of each half -- they make great fridge magnets! That should give you an idea of their size. It was perfect to hold cards or other notes on my fridge. The best part are each animal's details - they're awesome. Since I spray painted each animal, the colors were lost, but the texture/details were still there (ex. you could still see the zebra's stripes, elephant's wrinkles and the fur on the cats and polar bear). I wish there were a little less pricey, but I caught then on sale so I'm happy enough. Oddly enough, all of the other Safari Ltd animals were able to be fulfilled by Amazon (read: free shipping) except for this one.

I purchased the safari babies for my almost 3-year old after reading recommendations for them on several parenting blogs. My first thought was "seriously? She will get that much entertainment out of miniature plastic animals?" Then I thought that many recommendations can't be completely wrong, so I ordered them. I couldn't be more surprised and happy with the result. My daughter pretend-plays with them every day. In the bath, in bed, in her play kitchen, in the car, everywhere. She absolutely loves them! She already knew the names of each of the animals, but they have definitely fostered her creativity as she has developed personalities and voices for each of them as they go on adventures around the house. We have had the safari babies for about six weeks now, and she has not tired of them like she has many of her toys that light up or make noise. This has been the best purchase for the money I have made since Christmas. I highly recommend this product!

Cute but not for toddlers too small

Bought for my 3 year old granddaughter who loves anything 'baby' and she loved them.

Ces figurines sont parfaites. Notre fille les adore. Elles sont bien faites, joliment peintes et ont une matière plastique agréable sans mauvaises odeurs. Produit de bonne qualité.

Die Tiere sind hübsch und größer als gedacht. Alle ca. gleich groß bis auf Giraffe, die ist lang und das Krokodil auch. Verarbeitung und Bemalung ist gut, hab nix zu meckern. Schwänze und Rüssel sind flexibel. Der Spiel- und Spaßfaktor wird ganz bestimmt passen! Lieferung innerhalb 3 Tage. Das Plastikrohr ist allerdings 4kantig, nicht rund.

Metto quattro stelle perché quando ho acquistato il tubo c'era ancora la foto della vecchia versione con il tappo blu, in cui c'era un animaletto in più (il leoncino). Inoltre, rispetto ad altri tubi con i tappo blu che avevo acquistato, questi animaletti mi sembrano meno rifiniti. Sono comunque un buon prodotto, non hanno la qualità di altre marche ma costano anche tre volte meno.

Das Produkt ist wie beschrieben. Auch die Größe passt. Alle Tiere waren dabei.
